The article doesn't give enough information to answer your question. It isn't on me it is on the reporter's who shouldn't allow a handwave like that to pass without question. There are far to many cases of people hacking

Another page that gets "cute" with javascript and in turn is unreadable because of it. (not technically unreadable, but waiting for the test to appear gets in the way to reading to the point where it isn't worth your time).

My last experience with lisp was assignments in college which are too small to count as anything more than a toy problem. For real world code in other languages I've worked with the complexity of the problems demands so much code that

It needs more statistical analysis than I have the background to do. However all signs look to another variation of the replication crisis, which is more an more my default assumption when I see an observational study.

A large part of accounting is knowledge that we cannot control for it.

Javascript took off because it was your only option for a lot of things. Flash and Java tried, but both were always hit and miss as to who could use it. Everybody had javascript in their browser so you had no choice if you were to reach t

yes and no. You are correct the REPL provides more interactivity. However the downside is you can break something that used to work while make something else work. There is no reason you can have a REPL and unit tests in the same. Every

They have been reality for many years. A compass built into the car didn't exist in the 1990s (it probably did in luxury cars - I never drove them), then moved into mainstream cars, and now the fad is dieing.

No. There are a lot of other comments on why many do not believe it. There is no reason to believe they have enough data to adjust for any of their controls. It looks to me like they plotted everything and then found the "outlier&quo

The claim was learning is important. Not the ability to communicate with it. There are more than 7000 known languages in the world, study a different one every week... I have no idea what the truth is here...

I'm still waiting on someone unbiased to study the data and tell me something. Those who have obvious biases tell me self driving cars are good, but their bias makes them suspect sources. So far I've not found someone without an

I'm saying it doesn't matter. If the forest is getting the regular burning it needs anyway someone lighting an additional fire at a different time isn't going to make any difference. Not that you shouldn't be careful, yo

Thanks for that complexity. I've posted brought the same thing and all the responses have been "no, fire is bad" from people who obviously have no idea what they are talking about. I'm standing by my claims. However und

What happened is there used to be local newspapers with local reporters who at least knew something about the local community. Even if you hated the bias you could at least learn something useful about your community. USA Today as a "

One reason. The other is C is easy. Any language can implement it and have confidence it can work. (there are other options that are just as easy, but C won). C++ is much harder because of things like function overloading and exceptions

The C++ standard doesn't say anything about binary ABI (as you say generally either Itanium or MSVC, though there are other options they are rare). However the people who write that standard are very sensitive to the vendors and users

Bad news sells. There is always some bad news to print so you hear about it. That doesn't mean things are bad though.

Trees don't live forever. A fully grown cottonwood tree (I'm picking on example I know of, others are similar, but different in details) at 100 years old is impressive, but that is near the typical lifespan and so at 120 years ol

Maybe. Check with a lawyer. I would for starters be looking at the angle that Congress needs to approve spending money, and I doubt this was in any budget. There also needs to be a conversation of if the executive branch should even have th
